I took this foto at 15:40 yesterday, and I’ll call it “prelude to afternoon golden hour,” but this is a view of the turbine from the Battery Park direction. A few weeks ago, I recorded 18 minutes, so here’s more than twice that.
Geese head to wherever they go at dusk.
SalvageMaster passing Caletta ushers in the golden times, 16:30.
Over toward the Narrows, Hellas Progress radios in an initial departure call. In the distance, Tokyo Express approaches.
Lucy Reinauer pushing barge RTC 83 exits the KVK, followed
Kristy Ann, her bronze and red color enhanced by the setting sun.
By the time Kristy Ann reaches the Brooklyn half, Tokyo Express has started her approach into MOT, and
Hellas Progress has spun around toward the open sea.
By now, it’s 17:10, temperature starts to drop as quickly as the color intensifies.
It no longer feels like summer in February, nor does it look like it.

I stopped at the KVK today just in time to watch an anchor move. Crew on the “bent-leg” barge caught the hook in the eye of the anchor cable, and
then Sea Bear powered away, the barge submerging in the process.
The anchor got winched up and
the barge crew took the applause as the tug moved them
away to the next phase, which looked
a bit like jousting or clam raking with long handled tools.
The eye was caught and the yellow hook dropped
from the sky; once attached, the anchor got
hauled up, and Florida could move to the next dredge sector.

More of the kayakers taking Lucy Reinauer‘s stern, making helmsman a smidgeon nervous, I reckon.

Sorry about all the unidentified vessels today. Maybe someone can help.
Meanwhile, some stories from the NYTimes this morning: disputed waters between China and Japan AND Seamen’s Institute leaves Manhattan for Newark.
